It's a little hard to tell because they are not in good focus -- though you arranged them so nicely -- If the bright pink/purple color is because the seeds are treated with fungicide, then the rounded, wrinkly seeds with pointy end I can definitely see on many of the seeds are suggestive of corn....

Are they right size for corn? Next time put a size reference item in the picture, like a coin or something.

Peas was my other guess. -- I just thought I'm seeing pointy one end on many of them and I thought wrinkly peas would still be more-or-less spherical, but maybe they might look different after treating.

...but I never get treated seeds so I'll defer to other people who know what they actually look like.

I found the seeds lightly sprinkled throughout my garden for only a few weeks this year. These are all of them. There are no more to be found. I have some pine trees and bay laurel trees, but they don't seem to match up.In case you can't tell from the picture, they are about 1/8" and look like pink seed pearls. Really pretty and unusual.Any chance they come from a birds butt as they fly over?

I found them 2 or 3 weeks ago. i found the most pink ones the day after a big windy cold rain. they may be berries and not seeds exactly. they have a very thin papery skin and inside they look like nuts.I made a necklace and tell people they are seed pearls.[attachment=0]seedpearls2.jpg
